Other / paleontology | | English term or phrase: trackway | | I find it fascinating to study the trackways of these animals because they represent these paleo-polaroids, or snapshots in time |
| | | следы | Explanation:
A trackway is an ancient route of travel for people and/or animals. In biology, a trackway can be a set of impressions in the soft earth, usually a set of footprints, left by an animal. A fossil trackway is the fossilized imprint of a trackway. Trackways have been found all over the world. They are especially valuable for determining some characteristics of life-forms, such as behavior. |

Reference information:
Ихнофоссилии (греч. ichnos — след) - следы жизнедеятельности ископаемых организмов. Чаше всего они сохраняются в виде отпечатков, реже в виде слабообъемных образований. К ним относятся следы ползания и зарывания членистоногих, червей, двустворок; следы выедания, норки, ходы и следы сверления губок, двустворок, членистоногих; следы передвижения позвоночных.

if you are still dealing with worms: следы ползания is probably more accurate.
but следы передвижения is more general
